Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a production / sales management system for managing production and sales of various articles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in each industry or individual company, when carrying out a normal corporate activity of manufacturing a unique product and selling the manufactured product, generally, a sales and sales department is in charge. , The extent to which a given product produced by the company can be sold or must be sold in a given period, such as a short-term, medium-term, or long-term period. The sales target and the appropriate inventory quantity that should be secured at all times are determined, and the result is used as sales plan information and the production department of the company is notified.

On the other hand, the production department which has received the information makes a production plan of the article on a daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal or yearly basis based on the sales plan information, that is, a daily plan. Short-term, medium-term, corresponding to sales plan, such as weekly plan, monthly plan, seasonal plan, or annual plan.
A long-term production plan will be drawn up and put into practice.

At that time, the sales department has a plurality of departments, and each department independently sells the same product and the same product type, and the essential parts of the product are almost the same. For example, each department produces products with some differences in shape, color, or accessories.
If they are sold individually, there is a risk that the sales plan will be complicated and the contents will not be unified.

On the other hand, the production department is often unfamiliar with the situation of the sales department, and therefore, it is almost the case that the production plan of the product concerned is made up entirely depending on the sales plan which has been contacted. Is. Therefore, for example, when a production factory has a plurality of production lines, or when factories manufacturing the same or similar products are dispersed in different regions, the same production type or alternative production can be used. Inefficient and inefficient operation of producing products of the same variety in different factories while it is more efficient to produce different types of products or to produce them in the same production plant. There were many dangers of going there.

[0006] Furthermore, since the communication between the sales department and the production department is insufficient, for example, if the inventory information is not accurately included in the sales plan, a plurality of sales of the same product are sold. There are departments, and in one department,
If a request is made to the production department to increase the production of the product due to the fact that the product is out of stock in a short period of time, the sales performance will not increase in another department and therefore the inventory will be planned. When the number exceeds the number, it is possible that the excess inventory is accommodated to the department in which the inventory is exhausted, thereby eliminating the need for extra production. However, if such information is not disclosed to a third party, extra production will be carried out, and eventually inventory will be overstocked, leading to an increase in selling costs.

[0007] In general, such a sales plan is made, and based on the sales plan, which production variety, at what time, including the allowance for raw materials, and at what factory and in what amount, what amount? It is extremely important to judge whether or not to manufacture, that is, to determine the optimum condition, that is, whether the manufacturing can be performed under the conditions of being efficient and minimizing the manufacturing cost. However, since it requires a lot of experience and judgment, not everyone can easily and quickly determine such sales and production plans. Therefore,
There is a problem that it takes time because it takes a considerable amount of time for a skilled person to create it.

In order to solve such a problem, in recent years, a computer has been introduced, and the work of the above-mentioned part requiring the knowledge of the expert has been put into practical use in the direction of mechanization and automation, but it is still complete. A complete production and sales management system has not been completed, and a considerable part, that is, a working part that requires the judgment and experience of a skilled person, is still in the existing state.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to improve the drawbacks of the prior art described above, and to promptly enter the necessary information accurately even by a person who is not fully familiar with production and sales. Providing a production and sales management system that enables accurate and efficient production and sales plans to be drafted, and that such information and plans can be shared and easily used by all parties involved in the system. To do.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a technical configuration as described below based on the basic concept of forming a loop that directly connects sales information and production information. To be adopted. That is, the production and sales management system according to the present invention is a sales plan information input means for an operator to input predetermined sales plan information, and a storage means for storing ordering information and entry / exit inventory information for past, present and future. And output information from the calculation output means for outputting desired ordering information and inventory information by predetermined calculation processing based on the information from the storage means, output information from the sales plan information input means and the calculation output means. Based on the production instruction information creating means for producing the production instruction information including at least the quantity and the delivery date for each product type / period, and separately prepared based on the production instruction information created by the production instruction information creating means. Predetermined information is read from the memory that stores the production constraint conditions including at least the production capacity (throughput) for each machine and product type, and for the predetermined arithmetic processing. Based on the machine allocation means that allocates to each machine after adjusting it to the producible amount in each machine, and based on the output information from the machine allocation means, create a production plan for each machine type and period by predetermined arithmetic processing A predetermined pattern, and a scheduling means for displaying the result, and a production plan information correcting means for determining the final production plan information by the operator adjusting the displayed production plan interactively on the screen, Based on the final production plan information output from the production plan information correcting means, a work instruction and a raw material procurement information creating means for creating a machine-specific work instruction sheet and / or a material / material procurement plan by a predetermined calculation process. Based on the final production plan information output from the production plan information correction means, the operator calculates the production Production and sales, characterized by enabling the progress status to be grasped, and outputting production schedule information for each specific date and feeding back the storage schedule information to the storage means. It is a management system.

[0011]

In the production and sales management system according to the present invention, when a sales plan is input, various production and operating conditions provided in the system are taken into consideration based on the information,
According to a predetermined algorithm, a predetermined calculation means executes a calculation to create a production and sales plan, and the result is
Feedback to the sales department allows the sales person to check all the information on the production and sales management, and at the same time, because of the technical configuration as described above, you should be fully familiar with production and sales. Even those who are not able to make accurate and efficient production and sales plans by entering the necessary information accurately, and yet
It becomes possible for those concerned with the system to share such information, plans, etc. in common and easily use them.
